The manner iu which Judge Pound
has been endorsed by both political
parties in this district, must be a source
of great satisfaction to that gentleman.
Since his elevation to the bench, Judge
Pound's course has been an exem
plary and praiseworthy ouo. A strong
repubiicau in his convictions, he has
held himself above and beyond the in
trigues and plottings of politicians and
parties, devotiDg his whole energies to
a careful, conscientious discharge of
his judicial duties. Unquestionably
the people of this district recognize in
S. li. Pound an honest, fair min led,
dignified official, and the handsome en
dorsement given him by both political
parties, is a compliment any man shottid
feel proud of.
In Iowa and Ohio the temperance
and liquor interests will cross swords
tomorrow "in dead earnest." In Ohio
the prohibitionist are thoroughly or
ganized in support of the proposed pro
hibition amen.meut to the constitution.
As the canvass made by the temperance
party will bring to the polls a very
large class of the non-voting popula
tion; tha stay at homes; the predictions
are made, by knowing oins of all par
ties, that Onio will poll a very large
vote tomorrow. Iu Iowa, the temper
ance and liquor interests will bring to
the polls a full vote of that state and
well informed politicians place Gover
nor Sherman s majority all the way
lrom fifteen to thirty thousand, while
the estimates upon the t o candidates
for the supreme Judgeship are uncert
ain owing to the scratching which will
be indulged in by both political par
ties. That both of these 9tates will re
main loyal to the republican cause
there is very little doubt.

OUR GERMAN FELLOWCITIZENS.
This is the day our Gentian fellow
citizens commemorate the first German
settlement of note iu this country, at
GcrmantowB, Pennsylvania. Oj the
6th day of October, 1C83, exactly two
nunlred years ago, a band of German
pugrims lanueu at i lulailelplila an1
- m mediately made their way to Ger-
mautown where they settled. Coin-
uacntiug upon this bi-ccntcuarv. the
of Chicago Tr.bunc pays the followin
ol handsome tribute to the
race :
The first band of German iriljriiins
landed at Philadelphia Oct. 5, lGs:i, and
immediately went to Germantowu. It
has been estimated that in 1750 there
were 123.000 Gerinaus In the couulrv,
That year 24,000 more came, and from
that year to this the ocean has been
white with vessels bearing thm hither,
to escape reliuious oppression at first.
and afterward military oppression, and
the burdens of taxaiion and ill naid
abor. From I8i'0 to 1870 they broucht
3,002,027, or almost one-third of the en-
tue immigration lrom Europe, which
spreuil over the .Middle Mates u tiring
the first half this period, and then, as
the Great West was opened up, followed
the course of "the s ar of F.mpire."
Iu lSbO there were 2,9C(,7-12 persons iu
this coutry bom in Germany, and it is
probable that one-sixth r one-seventh
of the whole population is now Ger
man. The first band of German pilgrims
was headed by I i anns Daniel Pa & to
ri us. I hey were Quakers, aud led
from Germany, like the f'lj mouth pil
grims, to escape religious persecution.
Lmkr a commission from m. Peun
they settled at (iei mauiown. The Ply
mouth pilgrims, however, were nn,
men of learning aud culture, whereas
Pastorius' followers were noted for
scholarly attainment. while thev
possessed the same force of char
acter which had distinguished
their Massachusetts predecessors with
out their tendeucv to bigotrvand harsh
ness. They had the ireuuine Oiinkcr
humanity, and it found its first expres-
slu VVlgo'?rs !,.rolelt iS-l aiav-
ry, wuien eniiues me Uermaus to the
I,. ....... r , .... i,
ists. IIi9 true German characteristics
were soon apparent in the little colony.
and were maanesied not alone in thrift,
ana mdutry but iu the rapid grotvlh
of educational and religious facilities.
Schoo. houses aud chuicn s sprang up
on every hand, and manufactories tes
tified to their skin. Geruiant'iv.n. ju-
deed, boasts the first paper mill erected
in this Country, and claims to nave
primed the first iiiDle. The solid qual
ities the German charact-nztd lie
growth or the new colony, which was
tue nucleus ot the subsequent coloni
zation that spread over Pennsylvania,
which today, as it was a century asro. is
thrilty, hard working peaceable and
sturdy,
robust in composition and
strong in developement
fc-iuce those early days.a3 we have
said, Germans have poured in here by
thousands and hundreds of thousands.
until they have become a bower in tho
country. Of all her adopted children
they are the strongest aud most suc
cessful, and have most deeply impress
ed themselves upou the National char
acter. Though strong in Pennsylvania,
.Sew York, and Maryland, they have
taken the strong hold in the West, and
to the Southwest have spread through
lexas into Mexico. .Neither New En
gland nor the South contains any con
siderable number of them. In the ag
ricultural development of tho West.
they have played a very important
part. The great tide of German emc
gratlon at present seeks the new farm
ing region. Uu.ess intending to em
bark in mercantile pursuits, Germans
do not hang aoout cities like some other
nationalities, but whether in city life
or on the frontiers they are the same,
forcible, vigorou-, pushing people mak
ing themselves eit by their strong
qualities. While they retain many of
the peculiarities of the fatherlaud, they
are not so foreigu to the National
tastes that Araeric ins experience any
aversion to them; on the other hand
some of them have been adopted with
something like the Germ in gusto. If
more of them were observed, like the
German's love of entertainment and
his fonduess for the open air and out
door life, it would be better for us. If
our people cousuined les3 fiery and poi
sonous strong liquors aud drank the
German's wines aud beer we should
be a healtheis and less excitable peo
ple While thus preserving strong attach
ment for many of their home associa
tions, no race of people among us is
more law abiding or moie deeply de
voted to the Republic and its form of
government, and no German who has re
visited the latherland has returut-d here
without a still stronger attachment to
his adopted land, and, it may be con -fessed,
ith the conviction that his
success iu this country has aroused a
let ling of envy at home. No finer
strain has pervaded our composit nat
ionality than that of the German. He
